matatagpuan sa makasaysayang lungsod ng Maynila, may maipagmamalaking kasaysayan din ang munting ‘lungsod’ ng Intramuros. Sa loob ng mahabang panahon bago pa sumapit ang ika-19 siglo, ang Intramuros ang nagsilbing pintuan ng iba’t ibang kalakalang lokal at pandaigdigan.

“It is a reminder (Intramuros) of our identity. A mixture of what we are as Filipinos and what we were as colonial Filipinos,” ayon kay Jose Victor Torres, Senior Historic Sites Development Officer ng Intramuros Administration.

The theme Pasig: Daluyan ng Kulay, the exhibit depicts feelings, sentiments, and impressions on the historical river that this generation seems to have forgotten. Employing various media and styles, the young artists paid homage not only to the river that was once the lifeblood of Manila, but also to one of the region’s more progressive cities today.

Bizu Patisserie and Bistro got its name from the French word bisous, which means kiss.

She wanted the patisserie to have that feminine feel, a theme that echoes passion and life.
